land and water, and warms them. it also bonces in to the universe.
absorbed by earth surfaces, land and water
Land absorbs more heat energy than water does.
They mostly get radiated out as Infra-red (Heat) and microwave radiation
Dark matt surfaces absorb radiated heat much more easily than light-coloured shiny surfaces.
trap heat that is radiated upward from Earth.
The Earth mainly receives energy Radiated by the Sun.
A black surface can absorb heat more than other coloured surfaces......the absorbed heat is not used by it ..........but it is radiated through the opposite surface..................
The temperature of the air falls at night because the earth loses heat by
The heat energy radiated away, or was transferred to the air around it, or to surfaces it touched.
It seems you are talking about heat flow. OK, heat comes from the Sun to Earth, and is then radiated out from Earth into space. How hot it is on Earth depends on how quickly this heat is radiated out again, and how much stays here.
The silver layer of an insulation bottle does this to radiated heat
The fire radiated heat around it.
